tips...
* Can add chopped glace cherries or cranberries to the mix
* Don't let the marshmallow mixture sit for too long as the marshmallows become quite sticky when cool
* Melt the chocolate in a double boiler to prevent the chocolate from burning. If you don't have a double boiler, Put a bowl over
a pot of hot water (on the stove). Make sure that the bowl doesn't touch the water
* Store in the fridge so that they stay firm
